On the nightstand

Oh, the Irony!

I can't speak for mothers of teenage boys, but as the mother of a teenage girl, I know that there are times I wish multiple daughters upon my daughter. "Serve you right!", I often think.

Yesterday I was talking to a nurse at the hospital. While she was taking my mother's vital signs, we started talking about mothers and their relationships with their daughters. We laughed about how many times things will happen with our daughters that we wouldn't dare tell our mothers about. I think my mother's reaction would be an arm pump followed by "Yes! There is a god and my prayers were answered! Serves you right!"

The nurse told me that when her daughter was growing up, she would often say "I hope you have a daughter just like you." "She got one; just like her alright. The problem is, I didn't add 'and live together in your own house' to my prayer because my granddaughter is just like my daughter and they both live with me."
